Great paper on the under-explored topic of non-A level pathways by my PhD student @robbiemaris.bsky.social — highly relevant for Level 3 Results Day!

We still need to tackle the high T Level dropout rate T levels are retaining more students than ever, yet the gap with A levels remains huge

EPI researcher @robbiemaris.bsky.social spoke to @kateschneider.bsky.social about T Level uptake, dropout rates, and the qualification’s ongoing challenges and successes.

New @cepeo-ucl.bsky.social blog post.

Our brilliant PhD student @robbiemaris.bsky.social has been looking at inequalities in resit performance.

Those performing worst in resits are:

- Disadvantaged students
- Students w unauthorised absences in year 11
- Students entered into resits too early

Check out some research I did with Zack Dorner, Stephane Hess and Steve Tucker...
